Wow nice, I will try finishing my entry during this weekend. I also have to say that somehow this thread changed my experience of spring meaning I was looking all thing around in more faerie way especialy blooming flowers and land that is turning green.

DAZ3D April, 2016 Freebie Challenge: "When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Woodland Fairy"
Entry #2. The Dangers Of Being A Woodland Fairy
It's not all a flight in the park.
"Hey, wait a minute!", chimes in Vicki, "Great! I've come down to this now, have I? Featuring Victoria as a pair of protruding legs?"
Poor Vicki! She's definitely had better days!
Thanks for cool links. I don't know that I've seen the sluggians before... though considering how bloated my runtime is, I wouldn't be surprised if its already in there! LOL
@Skywalker77, The leather works were just a happy accident. The suit has the geometric leather texture already. I just did the old Ctrl, Alt and clicked on Parrotdolphin's leather shader I wanted and then selected Ignore when the pop up came up. I picked the black leather. That filled in all of the other necessary parameters Iray needed to make it look real nice. I used the set of parameters from the Christmas gift of Olympia skin Iray shaders to set up the skin for Genesis with the Atlantis texture. Ecstasy did not provide specular and bump maps with her textures so I just used the Lana files that come with the female genesis to complete the skin shader. Sometimes you can get away with doing that if there are no significant markings that are different between the diffuse texture and the bump and specular maps. So there you go. Some of the tricks I had to do to take a 3Delight set of shaders and convert them into IRay shaders.
Thanks, Kismet and Skywalker. Sluggians has been around for awhile, although it doesn't normally have wings. The theme for this month seems to have triggered my latent penchant for the slightly warped.

Thanks DollyGirl for the shader tips! This should prove to be very useful.

LOL! I must admit the ideas that keep coming to me for this month's challenge are also slightly warped... or perhaps even more than slightly!
I will have to try to get mine together this weekend. Got all the parts, just need the time!
Thanks, Dollygirl! I had seen that sometime in the past, but had never actually downloaded it. So thanks for jogging my memory. (seems to be a recurring problem as time goes on )
Thanks so much Dolly for those links, I have the slugians and was wondering if there was anything to go with them to make a good scene with...now I have them all so thankies so much!!!
Another loud and crowded evening at Lazy Lion Inn, voices from other tables could be overheard: "I am telling You, that I saw flying fairies deeper in the forest... They were almost beautiful as elves I also saw there...", ... "Yeah, right... and what about treasure? I am guessing that there must be some treasure in that forest too..."

Yes, I have uploaded final version with postwork and original render without it, as instructed in rule 4. of the Freebie Challenge Rules. I have also placed final postworked larger size version in the heading of my post just for it to be seen in the first place together with the story about the picture :).

It seems I have learned when I can render on insane :) it is really worthy to make an effort though I needed to stop my renders few times because they took too long.
One more thing about this picture, it returned me to a place I tried to create few years ago and here is one music video that was a bit inspirational for me, maybe someone else can use it as inspiration also and it has a little of that faerie atmosphere. Maybe I have posted it before, now thinking of it I probably should listen more of this band :) (I hope it is ok to post links of music videos :/)
And thanks Dollygirl for Battleslugs link I will have to download it.

Fantastic work, Milo! The soft focus definitely gives it a fabulous fantasy fairy feel! (say that 3 times fast!)

Very Nice Render! Very realistic leather work. That looks fantastic!
Love play on words about the "wood" Fairy! Makes me wonder if she were always wood or a fairy?
Poor Vicki! She's definitely had better days!
Thanks for cool links. I don't know that I've seen the sluggians before... though considering how bloated my runtime is, I wouldn't be surprised if its already in there! LOL

Very nicely done, Milos. I see that you have two versions. Is it the one in the body of the post you are entering?
New rules says that we allow postwork, but if an image is postworked then you have to show both versions.
Yes, I have uploaded final version with postwork and original render without it, as instructed in rule 4. of the Freebie Challenge Rules. I have also placed final postworked larger size version in the heading of my post just for it to be seen in the first place together with the story about the picture :).
Ah. Thanks, Cho.
Rendered on Insane! I avoid that setting whenever possible but some images just need that high a level.
A lovely render Milos. All links verified.
